Back/Up

I had a few requests to post the questions and answers from Friday's V:tES trivia. Below are the questions and answers I used for the night's festivities. The card-based answers were derived from ARDB, verified via cardlist as of 9/25/09.

Thanks to David Tatu for helping set up the PA rig while I messed around with computer stuff; Jeff Thompson for collecting responses and bailing me out on the Sabbat War question :-D , and everyone who stayed around to play.

Format

Six rounds of 3 questions:

  • Announce the round's categories prior to round
  • Teams select points for each question from available set of points for each round: (5,3,1) or (6,4,2).
  • I announced an impromptu extra credit point for one of the questions in round 2.

3 aggregate score questions, one after every 2nd round.

  • 2 or 3 points for each correct answer.

Tiebreakers: team closest to the number wins the tiebreak.
